Darling Details, Days to Remember, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello.  I'm SO happy to share today's card with you. I had this idea in my head and it turned out exactly as I hoped it would!  Ya gotta love it when that happens!! Please read on to see how made the card.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" piece of Bubble Bath card stock for the layer. That pink is SO pretty. And on top of that is a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White that I had used double sided tape on so it would be a sticker because I hate gluing those thin areas.  This piece is from the "Split Card" texture die set. I removed the backing on the piece and set it in place on top of the Bubble Bath piece. Then I taped that to the Basic White card base.

The flower is from the "Darling Details" set and was stamped using Fresh Freesia ink for the detail part and Bubble Bath ink for the solid part. The leaves were stamped using Granny Apple Green ink for both the details and the solid part. I die cut the pieces and put them together. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the bottom part of the card.

The words are from the "Days to Remember" set and were stamped using black Memento ink on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock. I punched them out using the "Double Oval" punch. And the layer behind it is a scrap piece of Fresh Freesia card stock and was punched out using the same punch. I taped the two ovals together and added Dimensionals to the back. I set the piece in place on the front of the card and the card was done.

This was a fun card to make and I love how the Bubble Bath color just pops against the Basic White. This was a very quick and easy card to put together too.  So long as you don't have to glue the thin areas!!  I can see using this layout for a number of other occasions, including for a Christmas card. Oh the possibilities!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,

Dainty Delight, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello! I'm very pleased to share today's card with you. I had no idea where I was going with it when I started but I was happy with the way it turned out. Please read on to see how I made this card.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. The card opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and a piece of Vellum. I textured the Vellum piece using the "Painted Texture" embossing folder. I glued it to the Basic White piece making sure the edges lined up. I place the glue on the bottom area about 2" from the bottom, across the bottom and up the other side 2".  For the top I found the most crinkled areas and added a dot of glue there. I didn't want the glue to show through so I had to strategically place it. You could also wait to glue it until you are done with the floral image so you can add glue where those would go. I didn't do that, I found enough crinkles to get the piece to stay down.

The floral piece is from the "Dainty Delight" set and I stamped it using black Memento ink on a piece of Basic White card stock. I die cut it using the matching die. Then I colored the flowers and leaves using my light Granny Apple Green, Balmy Blue, and Bubble Bath Blends pens. 

The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is from the "Les Shoppes" 12" x 12" package. I cut it at 4" x 2" and glued it to the bottom part of the Vellum piece.

I die cut a stitched circle from the "Stylish Shapes" set using the 4th circle on a scrap piece of Crushed Curry card stock. I textured it using the same "Textured Paint" embossing folder.  I cut the circle to form the flower pot. I only cut off about 3/8".  Next I added a little bit of tape to the bottom of the floral piece, on the front and stuck it to the flower pot. I added Dimensionals to the back of the flower pot, making sure it covered the floral piece too to help keep it in place and along the floral piece, all the way to the top. Almost the top, you don't want the Dimensional to show.

I set the piece in place on the front of the card, centering it. 

The words are from the same "Dainty Delight" set were stamped on a piece of Basic White card stock and were cut to measure 2-1/16" after trimming. I set the piece in place using tape on the left side and a Dimensional on the right side.

I added some "Polished Dots" that I had on hand. They are retired but there's plenty of other current embellishments that will work. I just need to use up some of the stash I have.

I do like how the card turned out and I thought it was fun to use some Vellum. I rarely use Vellum.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,
Wanda

Around the Bend, Layering Leaves, Wedding Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello!  As you can see I have not put away my "Around the Bend" set yet!  Like I put anything away right away.  LOL  I did have another card in my head and I needed to get it down on paper ASAP! And here's what I came up with. Please read on to see how the card was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. This card opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top. I cut two 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" pieces of Basic White card stock for the top of the card.  Actually you need three pieces.  On the bottom piece I stamped the words from the "Layering Leaves" set using Smoky Slate ink. 

Next I took another piece of card stock and cut the scalloped edged piece. I set it down far on the piece of card stock so there was lots of room at the top. Most of that will be cut away. I lined the die so what was hanging over was the same on each end. 

Then I took the other piece of card stock and before I cut the dotted curved piece I put the two pieces of card stock together with the scalloped one on the back and I held it up to the light to line it up so that the curve looked even across the card. I taped the die down and die cut the piece. 

I glued the dotted curved piece to the scalloped curved piece. Then I set it on top of the piece I stamped the words on so the scalloped edge was just a bit above the words. I cut the top part off so the piece measured 4" and I cut the sides so the piece measured 5-1/4".  I set the piece in place on the front of the card using Dimensionals.

The flowers are from the same "Around the Bend" set and were die cut using Basic White card stock. Lots of scraps can be used up making these flowers and leaves. Once I had a bunch of them cut I began placing them on the front of the card until I thought it looked nice. 

I glued some of the smaller flowers to the center of the larger flowers.  Then I taped two of the flowers in place and the third flower was set in place using a Dimensional. Glue was added to the bottom part of the leaves and they were slipped under the larger flowers.  

I thought the flowers needed something so I had some "Polished Dots" (retired) and added them to the center of each of the large flowers. I think the pearls would be pretty on there too.  I'm just trying to use up some of the stuff I have here.  Once the dots were added the card was done. 

I love white on white cards and I think this turned out pretty much like what was in my head!! Yay!!!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's wedding card,
Wanda

Layered Leaves, Around the Bend, Sympathy Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello! I glad you are here to see today's card. It's much better than yesterday's card. What was in my head actually came out on paper like I'd hoped it would. Please read on to see how I made this card.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. There is another way you can do this. You can use a folded half-sheet of Crushed Curry card stock. The card opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top. I used Basic White so I took a quarter sheet of Basic White and I used the curved dotted die from that bundle and cut it about 2-1/4" on the left and 1-1/2" on the right. 

Next I stamped the words from the "Layered Leaves" using Granny Apple Green ink. 

I took a quarter sheet of Crushed Curry card stock and die cut the scalloped layer using the die from the "Around the Bend" bundle. I did set the Basic White piece on top first and lined up the die. Then I taped the die down so it wouldn't move and I cut it. This piece was taped to the Basic White piece.

The Designer Series Paper (DPS) is from the "Inked Botanicals" 12" x 12" package. I taped it to the front of the card. 

Then the die cut layers were taped down on top of the DSP.

The little flowers from the "Around the Bend" bundle. I cut a tiny piece of Crushed Curry card stock and glued it to the little white flower. Then I glued the little white flower on top of the larger white flower. I added a Dimensional to the back and set it aside. 

The leaves were die cut using the dies from the same set on a scrap piece of Granny Apple Green card stock. I set the pieces on top of the card for placement and when they were were I thought they looked the best I glued them in place.  I set the flower on top and the card was done.

This was a super quick and easy card to make. I SO love this layout and I'm thinking ahead to Christmas and wondering what wordings will be available and what DSP. The dots could pass for snow so a cute little snowman where the flower is and the greetings in the upper left and you've got a quick Christmas card. I hope I remember that by then!! LOL

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's sympathy card,

Textured Floral, Darling Details, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello! I'm happy you are here but I'm not so happy with my card. It's not what was in my head. It just didn't come out on paper the same. I'm thinking maybe if I had popped the larger flower using Dimensionals might have made a difference. I suppose I could make another flower and pop it up on top of the old one??? What do you think?  I will tell you how I made this card and maybe you can improve on it.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. This card opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top.

I cut a 5-1/4" x 2-1/4" piece of Old Olive card stock for the layer and a 5" x 2" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Delightful Eclectic" 12" x 12" package and I taped it to the Old Olive piece. Then I taped that piece to the front of the card about 1/4" from the bottom, side, and top edges.

I stamped the large flower using Fresh Freesia ink and the smaller flowers using Bubble Gum ink. I stamped the center of the large flower using Cherry Cobbler ink and Cajun Craze on the smaller one. I like the Cajun Craze color better. I die cut these pieces out.

The leaves were stamped using Old Olive ink and die cut. I cut a leaf off one side and used it on top under the upper flower.

The words are from the "Darling Details" using Cajun Craze ink on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock. I punched it out using the "Double Oval" punch and using the same punch I punched out the scalloped Old Olive oval. I taped the two ovals together.

I set the leaves on top of the card front and then the larger flower on top. Once I thought it looked good I taped them in place. Then I added tape to the back of one of the small flowers and tucked it under the large flower a bit. And then the other smaller flower was added above that one. I taped the leaf I cut off under the upper flower.

I colored the flowers using my Wink of Stella pen thinking it would help make it look better.  It didn't.

Then I added Dimensionals to the back of the oval piece and set that in place.  Once I saw that popped up I thought the larger flower would look better popped up. SO I just may stamp another one and pop it up and hope it looks better.

Thank you for hanging in there with this card that just didn't turn out the way I had hoped it would,
Wanda

Lasting Joy, Fresh as a Daisy, Color & Contour, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello! I'm glad you stopped in so I can share with you the fun card I made today. I think I'm liking it so much because of the soft pretty colors.  Please read on to see how the card was made. 

The  base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. The card opens on the right and the  fold is on the left. 

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Bubble Bath card stock and textured it using the "Painted Texture" embossing folder. I set the piece aside.

Next I die cut the scalloped rectangle using the die from the "Color & Contour" bundle and a piece of Basic White card stock. 

The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is from the "Fresh as a Daisy" 12" x 12" package. I cut it at 2-5/8" x 3-7/8" and I taped it to the center of the scalloped rectangle piece. Then I glued that to the textured Bubble Bath piece. 

Dimensionals were added to the back of the Bubble Bath piece and that was set in place on the front of the card base.

The words are from the "Lasting Joy" set and were stamped on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock using Garden Green ink. I punched it out using the "Double Oval" punch. I also used the same punch for the scalloped Bubble Bath oval piece. I taped the two ovals together and set them in place on the front of the card and the card was done.

This was a fun and quick card to make and I just LOVE the looks of it. What's fun here is you get two sheets of the DSP with other flowers on it too so you can make two of each design.  I will be making cards using the other images at a later date. I have a list of what I'd like to make. It is on the list but not in the next few days!  But if I'm in a hurry I may bump it up a day or two!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,

Two-Tone Flora, Lasting Joy, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello! I'm glad you stopped in to see today's card. I found it on Pinterest and of course made a few minor changes. You can see the original card here.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. 

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and die cut it using the floral background die from the "Two-Tone Flora" bundle. I found this piece a bit difficult to work with because I wanted to have a layer show around the edges as in the original card but the only way to do that is to make the card base larger. It won't fit in the envelope so I just had to try to figure out how to make this work. I ended up attaching the die cut piece to a piece of Gray Granite card stock and trimming the edges to they didn't show. And I didn't do a good job at that.  UGH.  

Next I stamped a lot of flowers and leaves. I used Berry Burst ink to make the pink flowers and  Gray Granitefor the other flowers. The leaves were all stamped using Granny Apple Green ink. 

The words are from the "Lasting Joy" set and were stamped using Berry Burst ink on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock. I punched it out using the "Double Oval" punch. And the oval scallop behind the word piece was punched from the same "Double Oval" punch. I taped the words to the scalloped oval.

Now I was ready to assemble. I followed the picture of the card on Pinterest for the layout, added the larger Gray Granite flower first with a little bit of glue mostly in the center area. Then I slipped the top little Berry Burst flower above it. The leaves to the right went on next. I set the large Berry Burst flower in place using Dimensionals but I didn't press it down firmly, I needed to be able to lift it if necessary. I slipped the leave on a branch under the large Berry Burst flower and then the Berry Burst cluster of four were set in place next. To the left of the larger Berry Burst flower is a cluster of four Gray Granite flowers and that was glued on next. Below that is another branch of leaves that was slipped under the large Berry Burst flower. The second cluster of four Berry Burst flowers was added and then the double leaves were set in place. The other double leaves were slid under the large Gray Granite flower and the cluster of four Berry Burst flowers.  There, that wasn't so bad now was it?  It sounds worse than it is. You really can't go wrong assembling the card. Just make it pretty!

I added Dimensionals to the back of the oval piece and set it in place on the lower part of the card. The small Berry Burst flower was added using a little bit of glue and a small Dimensional.  And the card was done. 

In spite of the difficulty I had with the background piece I am pleased with the card. This could be a wonderful wedding or anniversary card, a thinking of you or get well card too. It's very versatile.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,

Two-Tone Flora, Layering Leaves, Thinking of You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello! I'm so happy to share a card with you that I found on Pinterest. You can see the original card here. I made mine with the products I had. It's similar in many ways. It was a fun card to make and I got to play with a new color. Please read on to see how the card was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and textured it using the "Painted Texture" embossing folder. I glued that piece to the front of the card.

Then I took the scalloped rectangle die from the "Color & Contour" bundle and die cut it from a piece of Basic White card stock. I set it aside.

Next I stamped the flowers using Moody Mauve ink. I stamped the outline image from the "Two-Tone Flora" set and for the solid part I inked it up with the Moddy Mauve ink and then stamped it off. I didn't like how light it was so I repeated that and it was a perfect blend. When I stamped off the first time the piece wasn't as solid as I would have liked it to be but repeating that gave it a more solid look plus a nice soft color. I colored the centers with my Daffodil Delight marker and I colored over the whole flower using my Wink of Stella pen.

The leaves are from the same "Two-Tone Flora" set and were stamped using Granny Apple Green ink. I die cut them at the same time I die cut the flowers. I laid the pieces on top of the scalloped rectangle to see where the words would be placed. The words are from the "Layering Leaves" set and were stamped using Moody Mauve ink. 

I was now ready to assemble the card.   I glued the scalloped rectangle piece in place and then began adding the flowers. I taped the bottom one in place but I didn't press down hard. I needed to make sure I could slip the leaves under it. I added a little bit of glue and then slipped the longer branch of leaves under it.

For the next flower I added Dimensioals to the back and then added the longer branch of leaves. I took the smaller leaves and I cut them apart. I glued the two bottom ones in place and then added the smaller one on top with a Dimensional. And the card was done.  I did not add the colored pearls to mine. I am going to be mailing mine and I didn't want to pay the extra postage.

I just thought this was such a pretty card and even though I changed the color of mine, I like them both. This was a fun, quick and easy card to make. This is a very versatile card too, it can be used for a number of occasions.

Thank you SO very much for stopping by to see today's thinking of you card,

Enjoy the Rhythm, Darling Details, Zoo Crew, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello! Today I have a quick and easy card for you to make. I was able to put it together in under 20 minutes (without rushing!). Please read on to see how the card was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. This card opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 1-1/2" x 4-3/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Delightful Eclectic" package. I taped that to a 1-5/8" x 4-7/8" piece of Night of Navy card stock. I taped the two pieces together and then taped that to the left side of the card front.

Next I cut a 2-3/4" x 3-7/8" piece of Bubble Bath card stock and stamped the music on it from the "Enjoy the Rhythm" set using Bubble Bath ink. I taped that to a 2-7/8" x 4" piece of Night of Navy card stock and that was set in place on the front of the card using Dimensionals.

The bear is from the "Zoo Crew" DSP package, was fussy cut and Dimensionals were added to the back. I set it in place on top of the Bubble Bath card stock piece.

The words are from the "Darling Details" set and were stamped using Night of Navy ink on a scrap piece of Whisper White card stock. I punched them out using the "Double Oval" punch. Then I punched out the scalloped oval from the same punch on a scrap piece of Night of Navy card stock. I taped the two ovals together and then set the piece in place using a Dimensional on the top and one on the right. A bit of glue was added to the left side and the piece was set in place on the upper part of the card. And the card was done.

I think it's cute. I like that bear! It was a fun card to make and the fussy cutting was pretty simple. This card is great for adults and kids alike.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop by and see today's birthday card,

Textured Floral, Around the Bend, Friendship Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello. I'm glad you are here today. I have a fun and easy card to share with you. I am SO pleased with they way this card turned out. I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest using products from "Simon Says" stamps.  I used what I had and I am very pleased with the outcome. Please read on to see how I made this card.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic Black card stock. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock for the inside.

Next I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Stargazing" 12" x 12" package. I tried to cut from an area on the sheet that had the darkest image. I wanted my background to be pretty dark. I taped this piece to the front of the card base.

I took a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Basic White card stock and die cut the largest stitched circle from the "Stylish Shapes" set. I made sure it was cut on the upper part of the card. I didn't have a current large oval like the original card used so I had to go with the circle and in going with the circle I knew I wouldn't have room for the words in the opening so moving the circle up made room for the words at the bottom. 

After cutting the circle, I stamped the words from the "Textured Floral" set using black Memento ink.

The branch is from the "Textured Floral" set and was die cut using a scrap piece of Basic White card stock.

The little flowers are from the "Around the Bend" set and were cut from a scrap piece of Flirty Flamingo. I cut some small pieces of Daffodil Delight card stock and glued them to the backs of the flowers. Then the flowers were set in place with a small dot of glue.

Next the stem was glued to the circle and a Dimensional was put on top of that. Dimensionals were added all around the back piece and where each little flower is. I turned the piece over and set it in place on top of the DSP.

Wink of Stella was added to the flowers and the card was done.

I REALLY like how this card turned out. 

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's card,

Layering Leaves, Thinking of You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello! Today I have an easy card to share with you. A couple of days ago I made a card using the Designer Series Paper (DSP) and textured Basic White piece. The pieces were cut in half so two cards could be made from the piece. I didn't make two card, I had set the pieces aside and today I thought I would work them into a different card. You can see my card from a couple of days ago by clicking here

So let's begin. The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Misty Moonlight card stock. I stamped the flowers on it from the "Layering Leaves" set using Misty Moonlight ink. I had added mine after putting part of the card together. It was looking pretty plain so I thought adding the stamped image would help. It did. I taped this piece on the card base.

Next I took the 4-3/4" x 2" piece of "Delightful Doily" textured Basic White piece and glued it to the front of the card. 

Then I took the DSP from the "Les Shoppes" 12" x 12" package that measured 4-1/4" x 2" (I trimmed this piece off by 1/2") to a piece of Misty Moonlight card stock that measured 4-3/8" x 2-1/8".  I glued that piece in place. 

The words are from the "Layering Leaves" set and were stamped using Misty Moonlight ink on a piece of Basic White card stock. I die cut them with the third largest stitched circle from the "Stylish Shapes" die set and I layered it using a scalloped die from the "Layering Circles" die set that was just a bit bigger than the stitched circle. I taped the circles together and set them in place on the front of the card using Dimensionals. I colored the leaves in using my Wink of Stella pen.

I stamped the leaves from the "Layering Leaves" set using Misty Moonlight ink on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock.  I fussy cut the top three leaves. I set them in place on the circle with pieces of Dimensionals and the card was done.

This was a fun card to make and I was glad I was able to use those two pieces on my worktable before they got ruined or lost forever!!!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's thinking of you card,

Timeless Arrangements, Thank You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello! I'm glad you are here to see today's card. I sure struggled with it because I'm never good with vellum! Please read on to see how I made this card.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. This card opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top.

I die cut the four floral and leaf images in the "Timeless Arrangements" bundle, all out of vellum. I tore many of them as I was removing them from the inside of the die. UGH. I ended up using my stylus and sliding it under the vellum and slowly slide it along the die until I got it to the end where it was finally free.  Once the pieces were out and whole, I colored them using my dark Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green Blends pens.  Plus I left a coupe of them uncolored. These pieces are attached to a small rectangle that is glued to the back of the word piece.

The word piece is from the same set and was stamped using black Memento ink. Then it was die cut using a die from the same bundle. After it was die cut I began gluing the vellum pieces. I started with the uncolored ones but those should have been added last. But I managed to bring the colored ones forward. I used every piece I colored and filled in areas where I thought it was needed. It's a fun card and I found it on Pinterest. I changed the orientation and I added more pieces to it. You can see the original card here

Once I got the pieces glued I decided it was all worth it because I did like how it turned out. I will set some heavy stuff on top of it to help set the die cut images down a bit, I think they are standing up a bit too high. I could add bits of glue here and there but that sounds like too much work, plus pressing it down overnight should take care of the issue!

I do thank you ever so much for taking your time to stop in and see today's thank you card,

Days to Remember, Delightful Doily, Around the Bend, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello! I'm SO happy to share this fun card with you today. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. This card opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and textured it using the "Delightful Doily" embossing folder. I cut the piece in half and I set the other half aside for a future card. It's always fun when you run across stuff already done and a card gets put together in no time at all. Or it gets misplaced and you never use it! That's me!! LOL

Next I took a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Les Shoppes" package. I cut it at 2" x 5-1/4".  I taped the embossed piece and this piece to a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock. I cut a 1.4" x 5-1/4" strip of Basic White and glued it over the area where the DSP and textured card stock meet.  Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card base.

Next I die cut the flowers and leaves from the "Around the Bend" bundle. I used Misty Moonlight and Boho Blue card stock. The flower centers were die cut using Lemon Lolly card stock.  I also added some small pieces of the Lemon Lolly behind the Boho Blue flowers.

The leaves were die cut using Old Olive card stock. 

I glued the flower centers to the two flowers and then I took my Pecan Pie marker and added dots to the center of the two flowers. I glued the left flower in place and then set the right on in place using a Dimensional. I added a little glue to the ends of the leaves and tucked them in place. Dimensionals were added to the back of the little Boho Blue flowers and they were set in place on the front of the card.

The words are from the "Days to Remember" set and were stamped using black Memento ink and then punched out using the Double Oval punch. The layer behind the words is punched using the same punch and Misty Moonlight card stock. The words were taped to the layer and the piece was set in place using Dimensionals.  

This was a fun card to make and it can be used for a number of  other occasions.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,

Darling Details, Wanted to Say, Thank You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello, I'm happy to share today's card with you. It's SO much better than yesterday's but not quite where I was hoping it would be.  Please read on to see how I made today's card.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. I cut a 4-1/8" x 5-3/8"piece of Bubble Bath card stock. I taped it to the card base.

Next I die cut the lattice piece using the die from the "Split Card Texture Dies" set. I used tape on the upper part and glue on the bottom. I did a hit and miss with the glue because it would be too difficult to glue every one of those lines.  Double-sided sticky sheets would work well for this. 

The word piece is from the "Wanted to Say" die set. I used Basic Black card stock for the words and Berry Burst for the background. I glued the words in place and then set the piece on the front of the card using Dimensionals.

The flower is from the "Darling Details" set and was stamped using Berry Burst ink for the outline and Bubble Bath ink for the solid part. I die cut the piece. Then I colored the solid part in with my Wink of Stella pen. The leaves are from the same set and were stamped using Granny Apple Green ink for the outline and the same in stamped off once for the solid part. The flower was set in place using Dimensionals and the leaves were added using a little bit of glue. And that was it.

It was a very simple and quick card to make. I really like that lattice looking piece. I need to use that die more.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's thank you card,
